"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Florida Panthers goaltender Tim Thomas's comeback has been a painful one so far. (J Pat Carter/AP)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Allan Muir&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;An annotated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Tim Thomas looked sharp in another start for the Panthers, but couldn't finish it off against the Blackhawks. Team sources aren't offering specifics about his injury, but they did rule out the groin that sidelined Thomas earlier this month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Edmonton Oilers did look a bit like a junior team in the first period last night against Montreal, but used four unanswered goals to shove Lars Eller's insult back down the throats of the Canadiens on the way to a big 4-3 win.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Edmonton's Mark Arcobello is really, really quietly off to one of the greatest starts for a rookie in NHL history. Like, Sidney Crosby and Patrick Kane great.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Ex-goalies tend to make great color men and solid general managers, but Patrick Roy is one of the few to pursue coaching as a second career.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Jonas Brodin was hauled to the hospital, but later released, after taking a puck square in the mush last night. This is exactly what my mom was thinking of when she told me to forget about braces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Enough with the bad news. Mike Russo explains all that is going right for the Minnesota Wild.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Here's Elliotte Friedman with an inside look at how Seth Jones fell to Nashville at number four in the 2013 draft. We're a month into his rookie season and that day already looks like it could be the best in franchise history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Apparently, tonight is some kind of big game for Daniel Alfredsson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Detroit's Jonathan Ericsson named his newborn daughter in honor of a fallen teammate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The highlight of ESPN's 30 For 30 doc on con artist/would-be Islanders' owner John Spano? The moment when he said he would do it all again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Damien Cox notes that last night's Ducks-Maple Leafs game featured an unusual pair and two future blueline greats. See what else caught his eye in this Points to Ponder column.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 I guess from now on we'll call this a James Wisniewski hat trick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The hip check  isn't dead.
